Thought Of The Day 46280

Life gives you things and situations that you have to work with. No matter what you have to adapt and roll with the punches. Not everything will go your way no matter how much you want it to. No one gets their way all the time.

Feeling Human

We need more sympathy and empathy in the world. It’s such a mean spirited place these days. Feeling is a very human thing and when we understand someone and their situation perhaps we become better people in the process. Making an effort to see things from someones point of view can build bridges. Open hearts doesn’t mean losing ones ability to be tough it just means being considerate.

For Those Who Need Comfort and Care

Many are going through some stuff. Some are not well emotionally or physically. May reconciliation be available to all who seek it. May those who are sick be healed. For those making a life change may they have courage. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers of healing, comfort and peace. For those who find comfort in humanity may they find support.
